Just btw... xbet already exists.

I really liked the name countersports more. It had a significant SEO advantage and ranks higher on google. Xbet fades in with other unaffiliated websites, which may eventually try a lawsuit if they're desperate enough.

I have to assume xbet.io is being used so they can also offer CFD functionality and not be tied to sports or any particular bet type.

I like both countersports and xbet equally as much.

So what is going on with counterparty, any good news, something investors can look for?

Appearance by Niki: http://cryptotu.be/mastercoin-couterparty-at-coinscrum-london/

First major exposure will be at Inside Bitcoins Hong Kong in less than a month. That will be followed with Inside bitcoins Melbourne and CoinSummit London in early July. There will be hundreds of people in the audience at both Inside Bitcoins events. CoinSummit had over 5,000 people streaming the panels at the last event.

In addition to exposure for Counterparty, you'll see more businesses coming online and people starting to actually use them.

Besides that, I'm sure everyone reading this is telling their friends and making sure they know what Counterparty is. Right?

Do you think xbet will be popular during the worlds cup?

I hope so!

Swarm
Cryptoequity: Legal Considerations

Joel Dietz, a member of the community, has authored a nice paper that provides an overview of the US legal landscape surrounding fund-raising with Counterparty and other crypto platforms. We've posted his paper on our blog for anyone interested:

https://www.counterparty.co/cryptoequity-legal-considerations/

We hope this will help others interested in this very relevant application on Counterparty technology, and we're excited about Counterparty continuing to power some of the most innovative enterprises in Bitcoin.


Actually one of my main consideration is why BTCT and BitFunder could not survive but Spawn can. Is there any main difference between them and Spawn?


I believe Swarm is directing users to http://counterwallet.co, and the cryptoproperty they're selling (SWARM) are assets owned by individual backers bitcoin addresses, so the answer to your particular question "What happens if Swarm fails" is a little complex.

If swarm the company fails, the value they were going to provide in exchange for SWARM (access to their crowdfunding platform and other things) won't be there, so the value will almost certainly go down in the event the company giving it value fails.  

but that failure would not result in the loss of the token.  Where the centralized crypto-equity exchanges take the records and tradable asset with them when they go, the demise of swarm would have zero impact on the token (SWARM) holdings of its users.

So it's better in one way, but no different in the other.  Failure is still bad, just not paralyzing.

Thanks a lot for your thoughts, mindtomatter.

I am more concern about the Swarm project, not the Swarm token. If Swarm project cannot succeed, the Swarm token has zero value. I don't want to be just an early adopter earning money by selling high to the late comers.

Pretty much everything that has been said so far is true. If Swarm as a corporate entity fails, then SWARM tokens will probably lose value. That said, because SWARM actually distributes new tokens and access to presale that are done on the SWARM platform, it is quite possible that all of these other tokens acquired via SWARM will increase in value even if the legal entity behind SWARM is shut down. So the downside risk is relatively small.

That said, we are working hard to make sure that SWARM is compliant with local regulation. Also even if the US locks us out we can still offer our sales to non-US residents.

One other interesting possibility is that we could continue offering coin launches without any associated legal entity.

Thanks for the document, but in my opinion, it is too abstract to average readers.

Actually one of my main consideration is why BTCT and BitFunder could not survive but Spawn can. Is there any main difference between them and Spawn?

Remember 1) Counterparty is used by Spawn but it is transparent to Spawn users, so for Spawn users they are using a service very similar to BTCT and BitFunder. 2) BitFunder had to be closed even after they restricted US investors.

I personally had lost a lot of BTC due to the closure of BTCT and BitFunder, so please forgive me if I am over cautious on this topic.

Ok, I have started a Bitcoin Difficulty feed from address

1ADigCqe5tWXBXcM1V82oWaXRNW2wUpXUS

I will attempt to update the feed within 24 hours of every bitcoin difficulty change.  I will definitely try to automate this feed in the future when I get a full counterpartyd installation set up, but I'm doing it manually from Counterwallet now.  So it would be best not to make your bet dates cut too close to the actual change dates -- give it a couple of days Smiley

I tried to make a bet from within Counterwallet, but it doesn't pull anything up when I input the feed address.  Is it possible to make a bet using your own feed?  I was going to try to seed it with some small bets Smiley

How to indicate interest? Is it a kind of private sale before Open Phase 1? Anyone can join this private sale? Thanks.


That's basically correct. We are allowing early access to folks who have been around for awhile and contributed to Counterparty in some way.

Matt Y has specific information on how to participate. You can contact him for details.

This is great! Did you have to hunt down and patch together APIs for all these different currencies? I was wondering if there is a data feed for all these different assets to use in a portfolio manager, or maybe such a crypto portfolio manager exists already.

yes, we are fetching APIs of 27 exchanges every 30 secs

and yes, we offering free portfolio for all 300+ cryptocurrencies on our website and as apps for Android and iPhone

in case you need an API, it's right here https://www.cryptonator.com/api

This is F'ing awesome! Thanks!
